Well, I’m not being unkind to you personally to tell you that I firmly believe the Genesis account of Creation, and that whatever conflicts with the Genesis account will be ultimately proven to be false.

So, in other words, you decry scientific speculation as to the presence of clay in comets as something unprovable, yet your view rests on faith.

If you want to believe in Genesis, that's your perogative, but don't turn around and decry scientific theorizing.

[John Leland 1789]

The problem is not clay on a comet. And nobody, not I, tried to pooh-pooh the idea of there being found clay on a comet. I don’t think that clay on a comet is a problem at all.

But it would be too huge a leap from the existence of clay, to the existence of life. We have a whole lot of clay on planet Earth. Nobody has ever observed life beginning in clay spontaneously.
